Pre-Authorized Payment Plan Information & Application
COUNTY OF ANNAPOLIS PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENT PLAN
Option One
Recurring Payment Program Tax/Sewer
This program can serve as a substitute for customers who currently prepay their taxes or pay their taxes via post-dated cheques. This will save these customers both the cost of their cheques and postage while adding convenience.
To assist in budgeting; this program is used to make continuous monthly payments on your accounts from one year to the next.
Interest will be charged on outstanding balances as normally applicable.
The agreement on the application must be signed indicating the monthly amount and date to be withdrawn. The amount will be automatically transferred from your financial institution to your account(s) with us. You will receive your regular billings to maintain your payment records.
Option Two
Tax/Sewer Due Date Program
This program allows the customer to pay their taxes/sewer charges on the due date each year by signing an agreement to withdraw the actual amount of the current year’s bill.
The tax/sewer account must be paid in full prior to the agreement and the date of withdrawal will be the due date. An invoice will be issued to you at least ten (10) days prior to the due date indicating the date and amount to be withdrawn.
The Municipality of the County of Annapolis regrets to inform its water customers that this program is not currently available for payment of water accounts. Therefore, if your sewer is included in your water bill we cannot offer this service to you. However, you can still take advantage of the property tax payment options.
*Please see our payment calculator in the upper right corner of this page to determine what your payments may be, using the months remaining in the billing year.
